My great grandfather, Michelangelo Riscili, came to the US from Vicari. He was born in Vicari in 1886. He married Jennie BONGIORNO (who I also think is from Vicari). I believe that Michelangelo's father's name was Giorgio and his grandfather's name was Giuseppe. I also believe that he had a sister named Francesca (born 1888?) and a brother named Giuseppe (born 1884?). Other than that, I don't have much information. I would love to find out more information about his ancestry and any other Bongiornos or Riscilis that are still in the area. Can anyone help out?
